The Irish are known for their blessings. It seems as though they had a blessing for everything-homes, people, celebrations, even mourning. Most of them are truly touching and beautiful. Although I am part Irish, I never really read many of them as a child. I have always loved poetry though, and after reading many of their beautiful traditional blessings recently, I wonder if it isn’t an inherent trait. We have several blessings in our shop, and I will blog others throughout the year. I particularly like the home blessings, since they make such great house warming gifts. After all, these are the kind of thing you like to receive, rather than buy for yourself. If you’d like to check out all of our blessings http://www.cafepress.com/photographz/2670545(this section of our shop is always growing) or click on the photographs above to view those specific blessings and the products they are available on (like framed prints and coasters).
